    WTB: Full aluminum side panel for Antec P160

    If anyone purchased the P160's windowed panel after their initial full aluminum case purchase, I'd like your original side panel, as shown above. I fudged what was supposed to be a touchup on a (sweet) 172mm fan mod. Now it's crap and I need to start over. :p PM an offer, whatever...

    Help -> Windows sound scheme wont go away

    Everytime I boot I have to turn off sounds and load my custom cursors. It's been doing this since Giant and Spybot got rid of DSO and TIBS, or maybe when I installed SP2 shortly after. I'm not sure. Where are the registry settings for sounds and cursors in XP?

    Unstoppable spyware

    These fuckers will not go away. Spybot fixes the DSO thing, says the TIBS one is in memory and cannot be fixed until the next startup. So I restart, Spybot loads and finds em all again (even the DSO shit which it says it fixed already) and says the TIBS one is in memory and cannot be fixed until...

    I'm doing some graphics work for a small game and I'm at a point where I've got a million different images in a directory that I need to be changed to one certain image (a blank PNG) while preserving the filenames. 1. Photoshop CS has a Batch operation that I thought I could use to perform a...

    IE: Now I have to "Save As" every file link

    No idea when this started, but I can't just click a link to a file and get a download/save dialog box anymore. I have to right click and Save As or else I get a 404 error. This makes it sometimes impossible to get files that aren't hotlinked. What happened and how do I fix it?

    Cable modem latency?

    Do certain brands of cable modem provide less latency than others? I just moved and had to get new service from Roadrunner. Even though I moved about five miles and have even higher upload bandwidth now, my ping times are almost doubled. My old modem with my old service at Charter had no...

    Killed my XP mobile? (no boot or keyboard lights)

    (I already have this on the DFI forum on AMDMB as well.) I went to try the pinmod again (like L12 mod) but now I can't boot, with or without the mod. Everything powers up fine, including the optical mouse LED, but the keyboard lights dont turn on and I remember something about that meaning...

    Antec P160 temp probes accurate?

    its a case. im just curious how accurate these are. ive got one under a mosfet sink and one in open air to see the ambient temp. first i had the mosfet probe stuck between the fins on the sink, directly under a 40mm fan, and it would read about 45 under load. now ive got it taped to the...

    OK for BH-5 @ 3.5v 24/7?

    i finally got this Vdimm mod working right. so now im at 250x10 2-2-2 CPC on, with a 17hr Prime, and still going. how long should my memory last if i leave this way at 3.5v? my intuition tells me its fine, but i dont know jack really.

    Zalman 7000A backplate?

    i had to modify the mounting parts before it would fit my nFII, so i practiced mounting it on my dead one. it warps the board under the socket, and its hardly tightened at all. isnt this what backplates prevent? does Zalman make one and do i have to pay extra for it?

    Where do i check Vcore on an nFII?

    i tried pin 7 on the "HIP6301CB" chip and it will give a reading somewhere in the neighborhood of my Vcore, but only when its set at 1.90v. no other voltage is within even 0.10v of what should be correct.

    Lapping: polishing bad?
